SHAVING-BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

PatentedApr. 6, 1920.

Application filed December 26,1918. Serial No. 268,217.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK zen of the United States, residing at Sioux Falls, in the county of Minnehaha and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving- Brushes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shaving brushes and pertains more particularly to a brush of the type wherein shaving cream is fed tothe brush from within the latter. 1

The primary object of the invention is to provide a brush which maybe easily and quickly applied to and removed from a case, which latter provides a handle formlng portion, so that the brush upon removal may be housed within-a cap and the latter then secured to the case, to thereby provide a sanitary structure and one in which the parts can be easily transported or disposed for future use. Further, the invention aims to provide means for effectively securing the brush to the case and to provide a spout for feeding paste to the brush which spout engages within the brush interior in both operative and inoperative positionsthereof, so as to snugly and compactly house or connect the parts.

The invention still further resides in the details of construction and combination of parts hereinafter to be more fully described and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the case;

Fig. 2, is a longitudinal sectional view thereof showing the brush in inoperative housed relation to the case; and

Fig. 3 is a view similar toFig. 2, but showing the brush operatively connected to the handle forming portion of the case, and the brush inclosing cap removed.

In proceeding in accordance with the present invention, a case is employed which consists of .a handle forming portion 1, threadedly receiving on its outer end a cap 2, and having a collar 2, sultably secured to its opposite or inner end. The case portion 1, is provided with a preferably rectangular cut-out part 4, and with a sleeve 5, which latter is rotatably mounted over the portion 1, and is formed with a cut-out portion 6, which corresponds in shape to that of the out-out portion 4, the two outout portions being adapted to register for HYDE, a citia purpose hereinafter set forth. The sleeve 5, has limited rotary movement defined by a pin 7, which is carried by the portion 1, and which engages in notches 8, 8, formed adjacentthe outer end wall of the cut-out 6.

The collar 2 is provided with a central circular web 9, inset from the outer, end

thereof, and is formed with, or has rigidly secured thereto, a spout 10, the collar being interiorly threaded between the web 9 and the outer end thereof, as depicted in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings. The spout is interiorly threaded so as to receive in threadedengagement therein, the usual threaded neck of a tube of shaving cream C. A plug-like closure 11, serves to close the spout against egress of the shaving cream when the brush is not in use, the plug, preferably beingheld in position by frictional engagement with the spout.

The brush 12, is provided with a metal ferrule 13, the latter exteriorly threaded and being engageable with the threads of the collar 2, and having the base of the ferrule formed flat and abutting the web 9 when the brush is in shaving position, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to effectively hold the brush in position. The brush is provided with an internal sleeve 15 formed to freely though conformably fit over the spout 10, the sleeve bemg rigidly secured to the ferrule 13, so

as to further brace the brush in use.

When the brush is operatively connected to the portion 1, of the case, it is secured to the latter in the position shown in Fig.

.is provided for the shell 16, and is next applied to the latter, following which the neck 17, is threaded into the threads of the collar 2, the parts now'occupying'the position of Fig. 2. It will be noted that the reduced neck 17 forms a shoulder that faces inwardly of the shell 16, and which functions as a stop which engages the brushandholds the latter within the shell, the shoulder engaging the brush ferrule base.

In operation, the shell 16 is removed from the collar 2, by unthreading thereof, following which the closure 19 is removed from the shell 16, the plugll removed, and

the brush then threaded into the position of Fig. 3, it being assumed that a tube of shaving cream operatively occupies the position depicted in dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 3, the tube being inserted upon removal of the cap 2 The sleeve 5, is now rotated to cause the two cut-outs 4 and 6 to register, and pressure is then applied to the tube of cream by the fingers and through the openings afforded by the two cut-outs, which latter render the tube freely accessible for the purpose of feeding the desired amount of shaving cream to the brush.

From the foregoing it will be also apparent that the spout projects within the sleeve 15 of the brush ferrule to function as a centering or holding means therefor in both operative and inoperative positions of the parts to thereby compactly house the parts.

What is claimed is:

1. In a shaving brush, a case having a cut-out of approximately rectangular form in a side thereof, a sleeve turnably mounted on the case and having a corresponding cutout for registry with the case cut-out, a re movable cap at one end of thecase, a brush engaging member atthe other end of the case, said member having an interiorly threaded spout to engage with the threaded neck of a tube of shaving cream, and having interior threads spaced from the spout, and a brush having a ferrule formed to conformably engage over the spout and having exterior threads engaging the threads of said member.

2. In a shaving brush, a case having a portion of its side cut away and adapted to receive a tube of paste, a sleeve revolubly mounted upon said case, and having a simeeasee ilar portion of its side cut away to correspond with the cut away portion of said case, said case having a web formed at the end thereof, a brush, means to secure the brush on, one side of the web and means to secure the tube on the opposite side of the web.

3. In a shaving brush, a case for the reception of a tube of paste, said case having a web formed adjacent one end thereof and having its central portion formed into an internally screw threaded nozzle to engage the paste tube, the interior portion of said case between said web and its end being screw-threaded, and a brush having anexternally screw-threaded shank portion adapted to be attached in operative relation with said internally screw-threaded portion.

4. In a shaving brush, a case having a nozzle formed to'receive the neck of a paste tube on the interior thereof, a brush receivable over the nozzle, and means to secure the brush to the case, said case having a cut-out in its side,'and a rotatable closure for the cut-out mounted on the case.

5. In a shaving brush, a case to receive a tube of paste having a cut-out in a side thereof to render the tube accessible, means borne'by the case at one end to engage the neck of the tube, a brush, means to secure the brush to the case at said end so as to receive the paste from the tube, and a removable closure for the opposite end of the case to allow of the removal and insertion of tubes of paste from and in the case.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

FRANK HYDE.
